As in last year, posting this 24 hours before so people who might be interested will have a bit of a heads up. So...

It begins  ...soon. :razz:


Or in a nutshell, a charity marathon where a bunch of people (mostly from the comedy group Loading Ready Run) play one of the worst/most boring games of all time while auctioning off unique (often geeky) items, singing, performing any challenges watchers give 'em and will have call-ins from people all 'round the world and so on. Good times and sleep-deprivation all around!

There's a schedule of guest call-ins and a constantly updating wiki page for the event.

New! They've added a master schedule which has times for call-ins, driver schedules, auctions and such. And speaking 'bout the drivers, here they are. :3

For what you might walk off with from the stream, have a look at the live auction items (These tend to go to several thousands per item), silent auction items (which'll just be auctioned on the webpage, off-stream, tend to be sold for cheaper) and giveaway items which usually are randomly given away for people who donate an exact amount (or multiple thereof) during a certain time period or for drawing/writing challenges (very cheap but you'll need plenty of luck and/or skill)

And yes, it's mostly a copypaste from last year's OP, so sue me. :razz:
 
Well, I checked it at around two hours into the 100+ hour stream and there already was one crash.

They turned on some kind of modifier that switched the controls around and it caught the driver off-guard.
 
Yeah. They have an arduino box between the controller and the Sega. By pressing a button they can make strange **** happen. Like remapping D-pad left and right to A and C buttons and same in reverse. That one caused the crash. Other effects are nonstop horn honking, autopilot and just reversed controls. There may be more modifiers.

Checked spam folder?
Yep. I'll try my other e-mails and see if I can get it working.

EDIT: Yep, tried my Yahoo e-mail and it finally worked; wasn't working for my Hotmail ones for some reason.
 
After two crashes, just a touch late for 13:37 of driving, finally:

Bumpy. A bit late, but...

I'm looking forward to the latest rendition of Modern Major General
Will The Scientist Salarian do instead?

Also, current driver's bio :razz:



I certainly feel this might be relevant to local interests enough to make a quadpost (shall compress 'em into a single one later on, worry not).

Donate $8.87 (or a multiple of it for more chances to win) in the next hour and 20 mins and you'll have a chance to win Dark Link's Sword :grin:

Indeed.

Might do up a compilation post at some point.

Have slept 18.5 hours since Friday morning. Not feeling sleepy but body and mind are all exhausted and worn out. Shall rest for a while ->
